Freshman Jeff Allen certainly impressed this past season, providing the Virginia Tech Hokies with a valuable inside presence. Next year, he’ll be joined by another promising inside prospect in Starmount High School’s (Boonville, N.C.) Victor Davila , a 6-9, 245-pound power forward who was just named a Class 2-A all-state selection by the AP for the second consecutive season.
Donnie Livengood, Davila’s legal guardian over the past four years, believes Davila and Allen will be a formidable low post combination for the Hokies next season and in the years to come.
“I think they’ll be great together in there,” said Livengood, who has been a basketball coach for 30-plus years. “Allen is a good passer. Victor is the best passer on his team. If he doesn’t find a shot, he’ll find some way to get someone else the ball.”
Davila turned in a fantastic senior season, averaging 20 points, 11.5 rebounds and six blocks per game in leading the Rams to a conference championship and an appearance in the Class 2-A Western Regional last month.
